Wie man Unfälle mit E-Bike und Pedelec vermeiden kann, lernt man bei einem Fahrsicherheitstraining. So verringert man Risiken im Straßenverkehr.

So… That was quite a surprise, here’s the link to the statistics: Link

188 fatalities out of nearly 24k accidents don’t qualify as ‘most cases end deadly’. I don’t want to speculate as to how someone can misread a statistic that significantly while writing an article for a public service news site. But the damage of such false narratives is considerable.

    I see at least two criteria:

    • financing,
    • board.

    According to the Wikipedia article about the ZDF:

    • Financing:

      • financed by a license fee
      • receives income from sponsorships, programming and advertising sales

    • Board:

      • Director general - technically independent
      • Supervising board - includes 5 representatives of the federal states, 1 of the federal republic of Germany
      • Television board - includes 16 representatives of the states of Germany, 2 of the federal republic of Germany, 6 members nominated by the federal states

    So, it’s dependent on the government. Means politics could have influence on programmes.
